   I’m trying samples of VitaLumiere Aqua, Perfection foundation and needed a blush. So how could I go wrong using Chanel as the complement? This color is too ruddy on my fair mature skin with very little pigment and a shimmer glow. On my mature skin, this blush was blotchy, had an uneven application and not finely milled. Very disappointing — will return.

   Note: I note that most of the 4-5 lippies are those from younger users. Don’t think this is a good product for mature, dry skin.

   LOVE LOVE LOVE this blush- Chanel nailed it on the color and texture. I feel like a new person whenever i put it on. It’s the most gorgeous rosy color with just the right amount of shimmer that transforms my pale, tired skin into somethin’ else, let me tell you. My only complaints are about the price and packaging. I know, I know, its Chanel after all, so I cant expect a low price, but I’m not going to be wasting any of this blush. And then there is the packaging. The sleek, black compact is lovely, and the mirror’s quality is spectacular, but the one time I dropped this on the (carpeted!) floor by accident, the blush inside shattered into a million pieces. I actually used a tweezer to carefully pick the little pieces from my floor and put them in another jar so I could re-pot it later. I’m taking off a lippy for that. Overall, if i have enough money saved up when i run out of this I will definitely repurchase. 🙂

   I was using the Chanel Rose Bronze and was afraid that this was too close. It isn’t. On my very fair yellowish tinged skin, I think this would be too bluish, but over a light dusting of bronzer (Nars Laguna), it looks beautiful – what Bobbi Brown calls a pop of color – pinky rose, but like a natural skin blush. Bonus for me is that Rose Petale has almost no sparkle, so the hint of sparkle in Laguna is not too much.

   The staying power is excellent. For some reason, it’s better than Rose Bronze.
